iPods in vending machines

Seems like now we are incorporating iPod into daily living if we can purchase an iPod in a vending machine.
I am guessing that, PDAs, laptop computers, and other electronic equipment will be "consumables" that are learners in K-12 will continue to grow up with. The challenge will continue to be how best to incorporate these into our instructional environment.

This caveat may be the biggest barrier to having this application mushroom to a level that is a competitor for MS Office.
